A MALE Voice Choir from a Wrexham village has gained an international reputation following a concert.

The concert titled "Melodies Across Borders" in a Welsh village has gained international recognition, making headlines in Rwanda before the UK government's controversial plan to deport illegal immigrants to the African nation has even taken flight.

The Fron Male Voice Choir, based in Acrefair, Wrexham, had innocently listed their upcoming joint concert with the Churchdown Male Voice Choir from Gloucestershire, England on the popular event website Bandsintown.

Little did they know that this unassuming move would result in their musical endeavour, aptly named "Melodies Across Borders," being picked up and promoted on "The New Times," Rwanda's leading English daily newspaper.

Dave T Jones, the choir's publicity officer, said: "We were just trying to spread the word about our cross-border collaboration, but it seems like our voices have travelled further than we ever imagined.

"Who would have thought that a group of middle-aged Welshmen would be making waves in Rwanda before any migrants have even set foot there?"

The choir members, known for their powerful harmonies and varied repertoire, are now bracing themselves for an influx of Rwandan fans, eagerly awaiting their performance on October 19th at the Stiwt Theatre in Rhos.

Tenor Ray Jones added: "We might need to brush up on our Kinyarwanda phrases just in case any of our newfound Rwandan supporters decide to make the trip and join us for a pint after the show."

While the UK government's controversial immigration policy continues to face criticism and legal challenges, the Fron Male Voice Choir's unexpected foray into Rwandan media with their "Melodies Across Borders" concert has undoubtedly added a touch of humour and harmony to an otherwise tense situation.
